Panels, perfect until perplexingly popping off the pins

Played around with the A22 for a bit. Now back on my S48 attempting to learn how to do panels. I watched the videos in the VIP Courses and it was very clear what to do.

1st Attempt: I got about 4 rows in on my first attempt before I dropped a stitch and couldn't get it fixed.

2nd Attempt: Got 6 rows in and dropped 2 stitches right next to each other... Ugh...

... Break time. Re-watch videos...

3rd Attempt: Slowed down to barely moving, popped stitches all over. Time for different yarn.

4th Attempt: Normal pace. Was 9 rows in. Popped stitch. Didn't see it. Popped more off the pins.

5th Attempt: Should I bother? Or wait til later and try again. Nope... tried now, 5 rows in, lost 3 stitches.

Not giving up. Just taking a break from panels for a little bit. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've used this yarn plenty of times. But the frustration is real. Going to try doing something different, then later come back to try panels again.
